My local hydraulic shop has been trying unsuccessfully for two days to get the Tilt cylinder head to come loose they have heeded it up three or four times but their head just doesn't want to come off! The Bobcat spanner wrench useless! Bobcat with all their infinite wisdom! made the cylinder...

Fixing the exhaust leak today! I am also having the bucket cylinder repack it has been leaking a little bit and making a suction sound when retracting! Making me wonder if that could be bringing air into hydraulic system an making the hydraulic fluid foam up enough to leak out of the hydraulic...

1999 bobcat 753 Hydraulic is still leaking from reservoir Cap I discovered a pretty good exhaust leak coming from the manifold pipe going to the muffler, the exhaust leak is position right underneath one of the hydraulic cooler lines. MY QUESTION IS: Could the exhaust leak actually heat up the...

They certainly were tighter then all holy h*ll!! One line I removed with the hardline attack and it's still was a SOB! to get separated. the other one I had to break loose in the machine and that was absolutely ridiculous how hard that was!. Is there anything special I need to do to bleed the...

That's what I figured! These hoses probably take more of a beating then any other on the machine.....You would think? a good engineer would know IT!!!

The upper cylinder hoses are already disconnected and the cylinder is already out! It the other end of the cylinder hoses in the engine bay, that I'm trying to remove in order to put the new lift cylinder hoses back in. The problem that I'm having is that they are behind two other larger hard lines.

PLEASE HELP! could someone share with me the best way to change the driver's side hydraulic boom cylinder hoses on My 1999 bobcat 753, so far I have disconnected both hoses from the hydraulic boom cylinder and remove the cylinder along with the air filter housing for better access. I can see...

turned out the pressure is OK! Should I try a different type of hydraulic fluid than the one bobcat put in? If so what would you recommend?

I'm at a loss! Everything works good but hydraulic fluid blows out around both caps and the dip stick on the reservoir tank. Bobcat just perform a 1000 hr replaced all hydraulic filters but one, looks like they did not replace one in line filter under the seat they replace the in line filter at...

With boom down bucket flat on the ground and hydraulic fluid cold it registered about halfway on the dip stick! I really do appreciate everyone's help! Is there anything else I can check?

is there a site glass on the Bobcat 753? If so where is it! all I can find is a Dipstick next to the hydraulics filler cap! Every other piece of machinery I own has a hydraulic sight glass!

I am checking right now to see if it its sucking on the uplift and blowing on the down stroke! if so, should I just run the machine for a while to see if the problem clears up? the overflow does not seem to affect anything an the hydraulics are working with good response times!

The bucket hydraulic cylinder is leaking a little bit when extended all the way out! and making a suction noise at the very end of retracting back in. Could that allowed air into my system and creating a problem? The bobcat dealer replaced the breather cap.When taking the lift up! I can see the...
